Claire Senita

Claire broke her neck in a gymnastics accident that left her a quadriplegic at 14 years old . It quickly became apparent that the world was not built for built for people with disabilities; a harsh reality that is simply unacceptable. She is determined to make the world more inclusive by  using education, mentorship, and advocacy.   Claire established NextStep Pittsburgh, an activity based training center to improve the quality of life for individuals living with paralysis. Through her efforts she works to ensure people living with paralysis have the opportunity to better their well being and living life to the fullest.
